Now that the holidays are over and left overs may be getting scarce (or boring), this weekend offers a few chances to get the entire family out of the house before New Year's Eve comes Dec. 31.

Here are some family-oriented ideas for this weekend in Strongsville.

Friday, Dec. 28

Want to let that inner rock star out? The Strongsville School of Rock is hosting an open house and jam session from 1-4 p.m. at 1688 Pearl Road. All skill levels and ages are welcome to check out space and rock out to some jams.

The Chalet Toboggan Chutes in the Cleveland Metroparks are still open and ready to go all weekend from noon to 10:30 p.m. This week's snow makes for a picturesque back drop while you're racing down 1,000 foot ice chute at nearly 40 mph. The Chalet is located at 16200 Valley Parkway. Sunday, Dec. 30

With the weather outside a bit frightful, an afternoon of ice skating may be a perfect way to enjoy the spirit of winter without getting snow and ice and road salt caked up into your boots. Ice Land USA, at 15381 Royalton Road, hosts open skates from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
